Why Pay For Private Treatment?

You, as a patient and a customer have a choice for your smile:

NHS Dentist? Local Private Dentist? Speciality Dentist?

Then What Reason Would You Have to Choose Us?

We spend as much time as possible with you, our patient, to make sure that we work towards giving you the smile you have always wanted, without the rush that is often found in other practices. Our shortest appointment is 30 minutes to ensure you have time to feel 100% confident with your options, and treatment is carried out correctly.

We are able to use the best materials and techniques and all our dentists spend time undergoing constant training and peer review to provide the best care possible.

We also work on a 100% pay as you go system, so there are no signup costs or compulsory monthly payments making paying for your treatment as transparent and simple as possible. You only pay for what you have.

You Pay for Quality

Our dentists have have all worked in various practices, some NHS funded and
others private.

Over the years we have come to believe that the setting of "catch all" fee scales stifles creativity and individuality and limits what a dentist can do in the time available. If a simple white filling takes 10 minutes to place it should cost less than a complicated restoration that taking three times as long.

Conversely, a well crafted crown of beautiful aesthetics containing precious metals should cost more than the basic crown produced under the National Health Service fee scale.

It may cost more but you are not comparing like with like. Here you will get value for money: private dentistry at our practices simply allows us to collect an appropriate fee for a quality job.

We take a high degree of professional pride in what we do. We aim to produce the highest standards of dental care possible and our fees necessarily reflect this fact without, we hope, being unreasonable.

How Much Will It All Cost

Patients are often frightened about the potential costs of treatment. At both our practices, we will discuss these with you before we start and if you want, present you with a copy of the estimate.

There will NEVER be any hidden costs.

We suggest that the most important treatments are carried out first: normally those procedures are restorative and protect the health of yourself and your mouth. These are often the least expensive treatments.

This may include more complex treatments that other dental surgeries are normally unable to offer. These include treatments under dental sedation, placement of dental implants and straightening of crooked or misaligned teeth by orthodontics (including Invisalign clear braces).

You may even wish to consider cosmetic dentistry including safe and reliable teeth whitening to get the great smile you deserve.

For all other costs please call us on 01646 690580 and we would be happy to give you an estimate.

Actual treatment costs are variable depending on treatment complexity and materials used. Long price lists are therefore misleading and are best discussed with the dentist when he or she talks to you about your treatment needs or expectations.

Dental Plans and Insurance

We have deliberately steered away from Plan providers such as Denplan, DPAS or Practice Plan who take a monthly premium based on expected treatment need rather than actual treatment required.

Instead we have introduced our own membership program where patients can elect to join at a level that suits them (Bronze, Silver or Gold) and have these benefits plus many more for a fixed monthly sum once they have completed their treatments.

A Point To Note

As you can imagine we are limited to the number of patients we can see in a day - we always leave plenty of time to ensure your treatment is carried out to the best possible standard.

This means that you may sometimes have to wait a short period of time to be seen if a problem arises. We apologise if this happens.

Conversely, because we do not overbook (as is the case with many other dentists), that appointment is yours without fear that you will be rushed. This means that, should you not turn up for an appointment (and fail to give us a full working day's notice) we will have to apply a fee. This is because we are required to cover our fixed overheads. This is currently £1 for every minute missed (£30 for a 30 minute appointment).

Remember by failing to turn up to an appointment you are denying someone else's chance of treatment and it will cost you money.

Terms of Payment

The practice works on a pay as you go system, meaning that you only ever pay for the treatment you receive. This also means that all payment is due on the day of its completion, unless otherwise discussed with the Dental Team.

With larger items of treatment we are always happy to help negotiate payment over a length of time prior to completion, with the final balance required on your final appointment.

Please also be aware that as of 2011 and the discontinuation of the cheque guarantee card we no longer accept cheques as a valid form of payment, unless previously discussed with a member of the Dental Team.

Additionally, any delay of payment without reasonable justification may incur an interest penalty on the outstanding balance at the practices discretion.

In the absence of prior written agreement to the contrary, payment of our charges is required on receipt of our invoice.

Failure to make payment within 28 days of the due date may result in the matter being referred to P&J CDS our debt collection agents whose charges will be added to and payable with the invoice debt.

Fantastic dental practice. I have been a regular dental attender all my life but never told of my bad gums or why they were getting worse. On my first visit to Narberth I was shown photographs of the problem and given clear explanation of how bad the situation was becoming. Treatment was proactive, pain free and I feel my whole mouth is so much better. I will never go anywhere else again!
Jeff Blain

It has certainly changed my life. No More tears and I came down for a check-up last year, and everything was fine. A Clean bill Of Health.
Dot Davies

I had been self conscious about my teeth for some time. I was amazed at what Mark was able to do and everyone at the practice was great every time i visited.
The process was really easy, and you couldn't even see them when they were in, much better than traintracks!
Ellen Picton

I did not like my smile and my previous dentist would not help me. I visited Dr Boulcott who, using Invisalign, straightened my teeth. I am so delighted with the results and now I am thinking about whitening my teeth. I would recommend Herbrandston Dental Health Practice - they are such nice people and really know what they are doing
Hannah Williams

Since I’ve been here I’ve been pleased. Bit of a Laugh with Mark And Petra every time. Enjoyed the service and always thorough.
Dai Evans

I first contacted the Practice having lived with raging toothache for several months. They fitted me in straight way and my abscess was sorted within days. All this treatment was pain free and in a relaxed atmosphere due to caring and gentle nature of my dentist. I highly recommend this surgery to absolutely anyone.
Julia Hughes

Very friendly and professional practice really made me feel at ease about being at the dentist, after suffering from server tooth pain for weeks and getting nowhere with my NHS dentist these guys fitted me in asap and really took care of me. Massive Thank You!
